Scouting Report:

Overview: Good NFL starter potential. looks the part, has the necessary agility, contact balance and coordination to take on attack every such way with a variety of angles. brings a force with his initial punch, has evident play strength and can jolt to defenders when helping. really good lower body flexion to be able to adjust and seemingly does not get out of phase. will need to work on consistent pad level and drive using his flexible lower half but has the grit to really take on contact that teams will love along with scheme versatility coming from a run heavy team.
